What is your opinion of religion? What do YOU believe in? Why? What do you think of other religions?

Question

Do you think I will get many answers for this? I really am curious as to see the beliefs of the other users on Yahoo Answers

Answer 1

i am very tollerant of other peoples religion on the condition that they don`t try and shove it down my throat! my beleifs can`t really be put into a neat little box. maybe i could say i beleive in Katherineism?! (my name is Katherine) i beleive everything happens for a reason, we will meet all our departed loved ones when we die, there is some higher power or force up there, i`m just not sure if it`s god? Also, the spirits of departed loved ones show themselves in the form of birds. i`m going to keep checking your answers, because i`m also interested in other people spiritual beleifs.

Answer 2

I beiieve I'm what you would call Agnostic. I believe there is indeed a benevolent force in the universe that I call God just because it make explaining it to people easier. I have observed throughout my life and even participated in many different religions and found them all to be exclusive and judgemental. My personal definition of God does ALL the judging. I try to stay out of it. I accept other peoples opinions as their own and may or may not agree with them but I don't try to sway them to mine because just as they be wrong, I recognize that I may be wrong also. I don't believe in the sanctity of any books although there are many books written by enlightened people, but still are just more opinions. I believe that most people are born with a conscience and that most have the choice between doing right or wrong. I say most because some people are mentally ill, either clinically or socially, but the majority are not. I believe we are all here for a purpose, although somewhat clouded at times, and in our hearts we already know what that purpose is. I believe in the power of prayer and meditation only because I have tried it and it works for me. I believe in modern society we are being bombarded with radio frequencies intended to confuse us and make us insane (hence all the wars and dis-ease so prevailent today). But my benevolent force is omnipotent and if I align my force with it's force, through right choices, I will be immune to the man-made forces. This does not mean that I won't physically die because I also believe that I am more than this physical body. I think with my phyisical brain but I know with my spiritual conscienceness. I think that religions have their place for people who don't want to look inside and or too lazy to use thier brain.or just want to manipulate others. But it's just a part of life on this planet and I just try to live my life as a power of example that way if someone want to know why I'm not frustrated with all the craziness, I can share with them what I believe, although I think anybody would come to the same conclusions if they were to do some honest self reflection. I believe that the earth is being killed on purpose by some very insane people.

Answer 3

Absolutely,you'll get many answers on your question. I think that religion has its place in our life. Personally,I am Christian Orthodox, I believe in God in general and I am aware that there's only one God for all of us,and there's one let's say Universal Power.I am tolerant of other religions(not sects,that claim to be religions),as far as they not abuse others.I've read parts of the Quran,interesting..The Buddhism is a "must"..The majot theme is how we can be good and rightous with each other..

Answer 4

No religion. Without being able to prove or disprove any religion (including atheism), it's an arbitrary, and possibly meaningless choice... so why make it?

If I live my life based on my values and my rules, then I will be satisfied with my life, by definition. Anything more will take care of itself.
